So i haven't been playing very long but one thing has hurt my wallet more times than I'd like to recount.
Is it possible that the dev team could implement an options that is on by default for new players and available for older players that upon warping out of an area, if your drones are still up, a warning box pops up saying "Are you sure you want to warp out, your drones are still in the environment." Something along those lines would be super helpful for a forgetful person like myself.
As a new player, losing a few T2 drones really hurts my wallet when im trying to make a profit doing missions.
Maybe if the option isn't possible, at least just a warning if you enable the precaution that at least lets you know, "Hey! You're forgetting your drones!" Like that you can cancel the warp and recall them before leaving.
Thanks!
Kindly,
Alicexo |

This sounds like a lovely idea, and also having the option to turn it off and on again for those who would think its annoying. |

I do agree and it can be a "ah damn I forgot my drones" moment, but I also do not believe forgetfulness/Laziness should be rewarded.

Yeah the laziness part comes in with alerts popping up to help you remember xyz. If things like this gets implemented what to stop other things automating your game play from being added that required some form of effort. Like have auto pilot warp to Zero.
I see all of this under the same umbrella.

I'm not sure how, if added, this feature would be a reward. You're not getting anything extra. If you're referring to the reward of not leaving your drones, it's no different than the contriband warning when you try to undock |

trust me Red by the time you get to t2 drones , especially if you fly a drone ship , they will be too precious and you will never leave them.
Make a hot key to retrieve them -- while you are at it a hot key for attack and you will be golden.

When youve been playing a little bit longer you will realize this is a terrible idea.
( hint : youre going to die waiting for your drones one day )
Being a little less trollish : its all part of the Eve experience. You get punished for your mistakes - all of them, even the little ones. Sure, we can add a pop up message to remind you about drones. But seriously, where are you going to stop ? Pop ups for loading the wrong ammo, are you sure you want to do this ? Are you sure you want to do that ? Do you really want to troll the other noobs on the forum ? Prompts are a pain in the arse. Now that youve forgotton your drones once, will you really do it again ? |

How about no.
This game, unlike other MMO's, is all about taking responsibility for your actions. Or inactions. There are no training wheels in EVE, which is why we like it. If you forget your drones, go back and pick them up. You can "reconnect to lost drones" now which is much better than having to scoop them up manually then go back to a station/fitting facility to get them back in your drone bay.
If you only realize you lost your drones after finishing the mission and despawning the site, well eventually you will get fed up of buying new drones and you'll remember to pick them up before you warp off. People learn from their mistakes. Or at least they are supposed to. So grow a little instead of asking for a dumbed down game. |

They already added the feature where if you drop connection and your ship auto-warp to protection, your drones will warp into their Drone Bay. Again, if disconnected for whatever reason.
This did not exist until about a year ago, and it's a nice feature. But warping away and 'forgetting' them is just a case of forgetful tough luck.
Enough of handholding threads, please.

I see all of this under the same umbrella. Then you're wrong. Because a notification about drones being abandoned is merely telling you what is happening, whereas autopilot WTZ is changing what is happening.

Ptraci wrote:So grow a little instead of asking for a dumbed down game. The game must already be pretty dumbed down if you consider remembering drones a test of player intellect that must be defended on the forums.
Anyway, the correct answer is, in situations where you actually want to leave your drones behind, you aren't going to have time to bother with prompts, so it's a bad idea.

Would you leave the pub and forget your kids?
If you answered yes, congratulations you're the priminister of england or in need of social services support, or both.
If the answer is No, then you'll probably remember to pick up your drones. Don't think of them as weapons, think of them as beloved minions, they can help you, but you must help them.

Because you are probably not the only one that forgets his drones (or dies in flames) once in a while, you can find many free drones in lowsec. Especially in places that see combat, such as gates. Just scoop them up! Even if you can't use them you can sell them and buy the proper drone type with the ISK. |

Invest more concentration into what you do.
That will reward you with more concentration in general.
On the same page, having things that remove a need for concentration
WILL unavoidably reduce your ability to concentrate,
because you stop needing it.

Hey OP (original poster),
I see you refer to yourself as a noob, but you use T2 drones!
First off, you're not a noob.
Secondly, if no one ever lost their drones, what's the ISK sink for drone users?
The reward to all those that are vigilant inn their management of drones is a lowered ISK sink life style.
Why would you want to be vigilant if you had someone else doing that for you?
I'm saying this verbosely so you appreciate all of the aspects in play with why your idea is poor. You need more information to know better. Sorry of some people come across terse to you, but it's been suggested many times before.
Don't stop having ideas though! EVE needs new blood and ideas.
Now use T1 drones if you're forgetful.
Final note : When you move on to pvp understand that some ships will pop your drones long before they turn they guns on you. Don't rely on them. They are designed to go "pop" intentionally
